Wait, was the scabbard always curved in this image?
Yes, everyone can have Audacity (for all your audio basics needs!) Audacity & Gimp work on Windows & MacOS, for those of you who continue to pay homage to corporate overlords for your computational playground (but want to use free (& open source) tools).
I find it amussing that tech bros think the average home user will care… They’ll keep using Win 10 like nothing has changed. I knew people still happily using XP in 2014…
For those who aren’t already aware, you can continue to get Windows 10 security updates after EOS, as well as updates for legacy windows systems, with 0patch. That’s what I plan on doing. https://0patch.com/
You can also overcome your Stockholm syndrome and ditch the trash for good.
Unfortunately there are a few things that keep me from switching to Linux.
- The drivers for my mouse don’t work properly
- JACK is not a substitute for Voicemeeter
- JACK’s latency makes it less suitable for recording guitar
- I use FL Studio
- I need access to a Windows testing environment
- Having to suddenly troubleshoot in Linux completely breaks my flow
I thought they specifically planned to end the security updates to force people to use win11
Microsoft is going to stop providing updates, but 0patch is specifically providing security patches after EOS so that people don’t have to upgrade to Windows 11.
Microsoft does that too though. And afaik they have offered extended support for a long time for loads of windows versions (especially for the server versions)
They are not ending support for some evil plot to force people to use win11. They just don’t want to support win10 forever. The exact same thing has happened to every other windows version and most Linux distros and lots of other stuff like servers and networking hardware.
it would feel less evil if win11 wasnt so full of awful and downgraded features.
That’s just incompetence. It’s not like they are laughing with the devil because people can’t place the taskbar at the top anymore.
I think widows is the virus
Windows is the virus.
While y’all were beating your chests over PC operating systems, I was simply browsing lemmy on my phone.
I hope the point is that it is as idiotic as the original. WTF did the original guy study the blade for, if not to protect other people from the barbarians ? Is he really so bad at the blade he can only protect himself ? Then I guess maybe he really did need to train all that time after all 😆
Don’t be elitist. You were a noob once, and someone helped you along the way.
The more people who leave corporate platforms, the better. Punch up, not down.
someone helped you
New to the FOSS community, eh? 😉
Been here since Fedora Core 5.
The FOSS community is awesome, if you hang out on the right IRCs.
The people who voulenteer in the irc chats of the Linux mint help I talked with were so chill and helpful
Sometimes you just need to be told to “read the manual”
The meme is poking fun at elitism.
Ah, ok. I’m a bit neurodivergent, so I sometimes miss the tone of memes.
Last sentence shows you’re the real hero.
If by “someone” you mean man.
I can name 2 women right off the top of my head who helped me greatly early in my venture into FOSS.
One is an Ubuntu MOTU on the forums, and the other helps organize the Ohio Linuxfest.
That bit of context was missing from your comment. It probably would have savwd you a few downvotes if you had included it to begin with.
You already had a few when I saw the comment.
Yeah, the man pages, various forums and LUGs.
Support for mine ended the day I unplugged it from the net 4 years ago
As a 20 year Linux user I cringed at this.
“gimp skills”
Exactly the same, what kind of lame bs is this, the best thing about the Linux community is that people help each other, not for money or fake internet points, but because they are good people.
That’s the purpose
As a 2 week arch Linux user I related to this meme. In fact I might incorporate this into my personality.
but why? more users for linux means better linux support for everything
Sorry if it wasn’t clear but I’m completely joking and not serious.
can’t tell such things nowdays at all. that is why i use /j or /s to clarify if needed
You are 20 years old?
“Linux will never supplant windows” naysayers in shambles.
I’m kind of surprised at the number of people taking this post seriously.
Half the people at my local LUG would espouse beliefs like this post unironically.
Lemmy is SRS BUZINESS!!!
sudo touch grass
I’ll just ask chatgpt instead of being told LMGTFY and RTFM
Rtfm?
“Read The Fucking Manual” (sometimes seen as “Read the Fscking Manual”) I remember saying it back in the day when I was annoyed that the answer could be found in the documentation while someone is asking others what something means, how it works, or having a common problem.
I now see it as quite pretentious of a reply and I now don’t reply if I can’t also be helpful.
why spend time googling dozens of half-related forum issues when chatgpt can average all those half-related issues in one plausible-looking reply. just think of the time saved.
